We have yet to “straighten” this situation out. The problem has gotten worse since 61 when this was written. There is a thread on EVC for a discussion of this:

is the opposite of what I was thinking. I think that BY looking at small selective populations techno-solutions will fall behind biological resolutions (unless artifical selection is itself considered a “technical” rather than a “natural” means). I suspect that the application of evolutionary theory TO nature (applied evolution) will enable future adaptive capacity to be monitored and increased but presently we are not in a state/stage of peace where this kind of ethically questionable but doable action(s) might be conserved. Instead we have single cell issues (stem cells etc) rather than small population ones (except by war).My reason for this positive evaluation stems from my feeling that Gould’s notion of “order for free”(Kaufamann) is false when co-ordinate transforms (of D’Arcy Thompson) are measured (if). Jazzns’ recent observation of one of my posts on EvC, that any notion of information increase (and this applies to “techno-lution” of humanity) must be bounded is an example of a partial communication of this potential resource.The discussion must move however hierarchically from the small to the large rather than the large to small as is occurring on-line at the present. We often go too fast to the big, by-God, here. We only need to draw the threads out longer and have people able to follow the "twists and turns."

Of course, and if we restrict this "future" to that group and Do do some changes to to their reproductive potential with respect to the rest of us... I am only indicating that this will open up research for other creatures' small groups and wider changes for humanity on the whole biologically.The elite would split but it would be their down fall for unlike economics ecology is not(that).
